Questions parents ask about Excel Christian Academy Preschool
Is Excel Christian Academy Preschool a licensed child care provider in Florida?
- No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Excel Christian Academy Preschool as "Exempt", which means it operates without a DCF child care licence rather than under one. Exempt providers remain on the DCF public record under record number X10PO0010, and Florida still requires background screening of their staff, but they are not licensed and are not inspected on the same schedule. Confirm current standing with DCF before enrolling.
Does Excel Christian Academy Preschool accept School Readiness subsidies?
- Yes. The DCF record shows Excel Christian Academy Preschool participates in Florida's School Readiness program, so families approved for child care assistance through their local Early Learning Coalition may be able to use it here.
What are Excel Christian Academy Preschool's hours?
- Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 8AM-4PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.
How many children can Excel Christian Academy Preschool care for?
- Excel Christian Academy Preschool is licensed for up to 350 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.
Has Excel Christian Academy Preschool had any licensing violations?
- Florida DCF has recorded 24 inspections at Excel Christian Academy Preschool, 15 of which recorded at least one finding. Reports are published by the state and summarized as reported; a finding is a cited standard, not a judgment of overall quality.
